The Vegan Body Plan

Explore the myths debunked intro and the five biggest myths circulating the bodybuilding and strengthening communities. These myths waste your time and energy.

Myth one asserts that high reps improve definition, but definition depends on body fat. Train for hypertrophy and cut fat with a cutting diet while maintaining muscle work.

Myth two is spot reduction; fat loss occurs universally, so sit-ups alone won't reveal a six-pack; achieve low body fat via a cutting diet while continuing regular training.

Dispel the myth that cardio equals weight loss by showing how slow-twitch cardio burns fewer calories than fast-twitch fibers built through strength training, leading to lean muscle and body composition.

Muscle and fat are distinct tissues that cannot transform into another; you can build muscle and lose fat, or lose muscle and gain fat, but fat cannot turn into muscle.
